If you're the type of person who doesnt care if their car is fwd or rwd, you would never buy an fr-s. If Toyota really thought they would appeal to that market then they are way off the mark.

I can't really agree with that. To be honest I never knew the difference between a FWD and a RWD until I bought the FR-S. I feel as though I fall under the "average joe" category more so than the "handling enthusiast".
IMO, the reason sales are plunging is because this car is almost 30k+ for most people, and if you're trying to target the youth niche--most don't have 30k+ to spend on a car.
If they sold it as a barebones for 18-22k, I think sales would be much, much better.
